The monstrances for Eucharistic adoration Why are they enriched?

The monstrance is a liturgical ornament used for the exposition and adoration of the Eucharist by the faithful. It is usually made with noble materials because it is the throne where Christ is shown in majesty while He offers Himself to men as food of redemption.

The faithful usually assign to the custodianships your most precious possessions with the desire that they be forever close to Him, as an extension of themselves in prayer. There are times when the community cannot offer great riches and so they are made in materials other than gold and silver, but, even in these cases, the virile will always be made in a precious metal.

GRANDA throughout its history, the company has carried out a large number of processional monstrances for parishes and convents as well as for large cathedrals. Both those destined for large temples and humble parishes, host a richly ornamented virile with stones or enamelsThe Tetramorph, referring to the rainbow of green light that St. John saw surrounding the throne of the Lamb. The Tetramorphos is also usually placed between the bursts of the monstrance or at its feet, following this description from the Book of Revelations.

Here is a photo gallery with some of the monstrances made or restored in our workshops:
